AEROGEL - I'VE GOT TO HAVE SOME

This is a a five pound brick being held up by two grams of Aerogel. This is the lowest density material made today. It is a perfect insulator. Amazingly enough is was developed in 1931. It is created by replacing all the liquid in a substance with a gas. It very expensive but you can buy if you've got to have it.
